Mirena IUD

WHAT IS MIRENA IUD?

The Mirena IUD, a birth control device that is inserted into the uterus through the vagina, has been identified as a possible cause of uterine wall perforations, pelvic inflammatory disease, sepsis, and other dangerous conditions. The product information for the Mirena IUD also indicates that, if a woman becomes pregnant when using the device, her offspring might be at risk of sustaining Mirena IUD birth defects.

WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH MIRENA IUD?

Risks more commonly associated with using the Mirena IUD include headaches, pelvic pain, breast tenderness, ovarian cysts, irregular bleeding or spotting and vaginitis. Side effects should be immediately evaluated by a doctor because complications can cause serious injuries and be life-threatening.
